Devon & Michelle’s lesbian pirate bowling wedding
When I saw this wedding come through, it was a jumble of amazing words all up in my grill: lesbians, pirates, bowling, my home state! And once I saw the photos, I was LOVING it. A pirate ship cake cut with a sword, a Jenga guest book, and major costume participation all in a bowling alley means only the most fun evar.
Melaina & Nick’s colorful playful and kid-friendly wedding
After hiring him to color her comics, he colored her world. D’aw! And a theme was born: color! That, along with everything playful and awesome, makes this artsy and geeky wedding a feast for the eyes and fun for all ages. Though a few mishaps were born of Hurricane Irene, somehow it all came together in the end.
Linda & Dave’s pseudo-rustic super stylin’ wedding
Hand-painted signs, vintage stoles, an ultra fashionable wedding party, reception outfit changes, tutus, fascinators, big hair… HEAD ASPLODE! Even the cupcakes are rustically gorgeous in re-purposed cigar boxes. Plus, everyone is killing me with adorable first look photos. Damn mascara running.
Katherine & Matthew’s tornado-threatened mix-and-match wedding
It rained and it poured on this poor outdoor wedding. But love persevered when they decided to get hitched come hell or high water. With the magic of friends and familial labor, an adorable book-filled breakfast room was made into a ceremony space. Along with their classy restaurant reception, it is easy to see even budget and weather can’t ruin a good time. (And don’t miss their son’s cameo at the ceremony!)
